Train RobbiDg in Texas.

FORT w ORTIZ, lex, June 49, lSS'
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Another train robbery at Flatonia, Tex,
better organized, more determined and
brutal. Success gives confidence. The
year 1856 will probably be remembered as
the year of the great drouth; the year
1887 as the year Of the train robberies.
Ordinary theft is not only pun; shable by
law, but can be provided against by pru-
dence and carefulness, but for protection
against bandit robbery or train robbery,
the citizen has TO rely upon the state. A
state that permits bandit robbery never
will fully enjoy the word civilized. You
may rely upon 1t, Mr.. Editor, that until
train rObberies are done away with,
travel and capital will avoid our state.
The falling of in travel is already quite
evident, while bankers in the larger towns
report that eastern capital is not coming
into the state as it was sixty days
ago. In conversation with our
citizens, we find much confidence
expressed in the courage and ability
of Governor Ross. His friends claim that
while he might be criticized for being
slow he will yet be equal to the
occasion. Yes, but we reply, our home
Is on fire, and hardness Of movement, OF
the use of a sprinkiing can, instead of
fire engine, which is available,
we cannot approve of. The protection
Of life and property is the duty of the
state. If the state does not give this
protection it does not fulfil It's mission;
It is a huge organization Of delegated
power without purpose. 10 addition to
other energetic measures q reward Of
5000 per head should be offered at once
for train robbers. If they are not caught
the state will not have it to pay. For
every dollar so paid out hundreds will be
returned in that prosperity that follows
the full protection of life and property.
History tells US that Nero was flddling or
doing something unimpOTtant while
Rome was burning, and for this his enc
mics uniustly accused aim of being the
incendisry TEXAN.

THE BALLOON ASCENSION.

The Latest Ate mpt Pronounced Success.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 19.-Pro fessor
Hazen says the balloon voyage, though
short has been eminently successful in
the cause of science. The great difficulty
in the imitation and ascension, which were
hazardous to the original intention of the
projectors, rather favored the scientific
results. The necessity of expanding bal

lighteued the balloon enough 20 carry US
nearly l6, 900 feet high, thus giving an
excellent opportunity for determining the
temperature and humidity of the upper
atmosphere. The temperature at start
ing was 30 and at the highest point it
was So At this point the
air was exceedingly dry though
it had been nearly saturated
few minutes before at the alti.
tude of 5000 feet. The very rapid de-
scent, more than fifteen feet per second,
tested the psyChrometer to its best, and
it responded finely. The second rise to
5000 feet checked the reading before
made. We were at the highest point
twelve minutes, and the second time at
heigth of 6000 feet ten minutes. Forty
six complete observations Of the barome-
ter, psychrometer, magnetic needle and
time were made in one hour and fifty-one
minutes. These observations, showing
the distribution of temperature and
moisture in the atmosphere were made
with better instruments than were ever
